B.Sc. in Mathematics (Actuarial Science) (UWI)
My name is Karlene Philanders. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics with a focus on Actuarial Science from The University of the West Indies and I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Data Science. Alongside my studies, I am gaining valuable industry experience as a Data Science Intern at CIBC Caribbean, where I would apply my skills to real-world challenges. I am passionate about data-driven problem solving and the ways technology can be leveraged to create meaningful impact. Beyond academics and professional growth, I am a thrill seeker who enjoys adventure and discovering new horizons. In my downtime, I love experimenting in the kitchen, especially cooking and baking, which allow me to channel my creativity in a different way.
